Fencing the Area of Rearing Facility

Area of rearing facility of Tuntong Laut (Painted terrapin/Batagur borneoensis) have been fenced. Fencing is done to prevent disturbance by animals, such as goats and cattle, which often enter the area. Also to prevent the possibility of human disorders such as theft. This area will be complemented by several CCTV cameras for security support.

After the installation of stakes and concrete foundations, wire fencing, ponds repainting, cleaning the area from trash, planting crops in the areas around that have been implemented last week, now the activity will continue with painting fence stakes, installation of safety nets in all ponds, making plants and wood artificial to basking in the middle of the ponds, making nursery area to produce feed for Tuntong Laut (Batagur borneoensis). To maintain the cleanliness of water in ponds, the natural filtration has also been made.

All these are done in order to make hatchlings of Tuntong can growth safely and comfortably before being released back into the habitat. (SF)
